While delivery of the first vessel to the Turkish Naval Forces is planned for 2030, the shipyard is also aimed to contribute to the National Attack Boat Project.”
Can’t tell how the current structure will be reshaped but like you said, definitely a capacity increase effort to meet rising domestic and foreign demand.FAC will then be divided between private and state shipyards. Guess they want more export contracts to fill the margins
